HAY est une entreprise de design innovante qui crée des meubles, des luminaires et des accessoires de haute qualité et démocratiques avec les plus grands designers du monde.

Norrgavel was founded in Sweden in the early nineties. Since the start, sustainability has been the core of our business. From nature. With nature. Nirvan Richter, founder and architect, wanted to design furniture he felt the market was lacking: high-quality furniture of natural materials that would last and could, if necessary, be repaired or reupholstered and passed on from generation to generation. Furniture whose design is timeless and offered an alternative to mass-produced furniture for rapid turnover. We decided early on to work solely with natural materials, for two very good reasons: - Purely environmental. Our aim is to create products that are part of the natural cycle, which we do by using renewable raw materials. - Lasting beauty. For Norrgavel, natural materials is also an aesthetic choice - they stimulate the senses, can be kept in good condition and generally age beautifully. It´s about the sensation you get from running your hand over a soft soap-finished piece of oak, or feeling the different qualities of linen. In 1998, Norrgavel became the first comany to acquire the Nordic Swan Ecolabel for home furniture. The following year we received the Swedish furniture industry´s environment prize, awarded in conjunction with WWF. Several pieces of Norrgavel furniture have since received design awards, with environmental credentials often cited by the jury. Norrgavel stores in Sweden: Stockholm, Nacka, Uppsala, Gothenburg, Malmö, Lammhult.

A catalyst for creativity We are Design House Stockholm. Our vision is to democratize design, by being the premium brand as a publishing house for Scandinavian design – a catalyst for creativity. We explore, refine and push the boundaries for the natural resource Scandinavian design. This is our homage to creativity. The term ‘Scandinavian’ refers to a philosophic and aesthetic perspective, rather than geography and nationality. We distinguish ourselves as a publishing house, rather than a conventional producer. Since 1992 we have been inviting new and upcoming as well as established designers, and knowledgeable manufacturers, to collaborate with Design House Stockholm. By being curious and listening, we explore and curate the most innovative Scandinavian design. Our products’ reason for being is always about function and details, where our principles for sustainability permeates the whole business – longevity over generations in products, materials, and production as well as in our sales, client and supplier relations. In collaboration with our skilled producers and designers, we push the boundaries for the concept of design. It’s in the team’s collective knowledge where the moment of creative magnetism arises. Design House Stockholm is all about quality and timelessness, yet personality and attitude – design with a quest for an inner spirit, not just outer shapes. Our design can be unexpected and challenging, it can arouse surprise, but will always create a sense of excellence in the midst of the everyday life. We call it contemporary design poetry.
